Synopsis

Engrossed in the family business of traditional doll making, Wakana Gojou is a reserved high school freshman without friends. Harboring painful memories of a childhood friend's disdain toward his interest, Gojou cannot relate to his classmates and their pastimes, eventually isolating himself.

Gojou has yet to perfect his crafting of dolls' faces, but is exceptionally skilled at making their clothes. His finesse with the sewing machine is soon discovered by his beautiful classmate Marin Kitagawa, whose boldness and honesty Gojou both admires and envies. Instantly, she shares with Gojou her own hobby: she likes to cosplay as characters from erotic video games.

However, Kitagawa cannot sew her own costumes, leading her to seek Gojou's expertise. Now, as he is dragged along to the charming girl's endless cosplay-related affairs, Kitagawa becomes his first friend who fully accepts him. Thus, although polar opposites, their relationship slowly blossoms through their aptitude in helping each other in the intricate world of cosplay.

My Dress Up Darling is a heartfelt story that guarantees plenty of smiles. While it carries a mature tag and parental advisory, the content is comparable to other manga or anime in terms of explicitness. There is some nudity, but it always feels purposeful and never gratuitous.

The two main characters are remarkably nuanced. Gojo, a talented introvert, retreats into his passion for traditional hina dolls after losing his parents, finding solace with his grandfather, a master doll artisan. Kitagawa, on the other hand, defies first impressions—though she outwardly fits the gyaru stereotype, she's a dedicated otaku and passionate cosplayer. Their personalities and backstories add ...

Mixed Feelings

The series has very solid premise, good core idea, simple characters with a depth to them that increases as you gradually find out more about them, their dreams and the challenges they have to face, especially the male lead Gojou. The development of story and characters is steady for most of the manga, however the whole thing is basically presented in the form of an introduction to a larger story. With the large Mandate of Heaven arc (ch. 86-113) and the title drop in ch. 87 the feeling is to be finally entering the core plot, definitely straying away from being just another silly romcom. ...

Preliminary (66/? eps)

Story had potential, if it went the right path. I was expecting a more focused on slice of life story with the dress stuff. Well, in the end that's actually the side story. What you will get most of the time is a look-a-like of nagatoro, just teasing. When will authors stop making this childish type of works. I was really enjoying it at 1st. There's already more than 60 chapters and it feels like it's just dragging, nothing really happens on their relation neither in terms of the dress up story. It became quite hollow.

And no, this is not a seinen and honestly hardly ...
